The fifteen-minute intermission is nothing more than some advertisements and a simple review by the host for the TV audience, and it is even shorter for the players.
Chen Zhuo's explanation is obviously timely. For a veteran coach like Hodgson, and for Fulham, a tenacious team that has repeatedly escaped death and achieved comebacks in the game, Hamburg's one-goal lead is still temporary.
Not enough to make them collapse.
It’s unclear what kind of mobilization and arrangements Hodgson made during the halftime break, but at the beginning of the second half, Fulham were completely different from the first half! The “blitz” that took advantage of the opponent’s unsteady foothold at the beginning was always Fulham’s.
One of Lem's classic offensive routines, this game is no exception, and the first attack at the beginning of the second half was resolute and thorough!
Duff and Jonathan changed positions. Duff came to the left wing, which he was more familiar with. He used his speed to pass Trokhovsky and Boateng in the center circle and directly faced Chen Zhuo, who was the central defender.
One person restrained three Hamburg players and disrupted Hamburg's right defense. Duff looked up, kicked back his left foot, and passed low with his right foot to his midfielder teammate Etuhu who came up from behind to meet him.
Defending Etuhu is Yarolim, Simon Davis and Ruud van Nistelrooy compete for favorable positions in the line with Etuhu, while Demel and Ogo defend near the penalty area line.
The two forwards Guerra and Zamora, and Elia at the far end were marking Jonathan. The number of troops invested in the opponent's attack was significantly greater than that in the first half, which also reflected Fulham's determination to reverse the attack.
Etuhu had obviously observed the position of his teammates before receiving the ball. There were no opportunities on the left and right wings or in front of the center. Etuhu directly passed the ball back without pausing and handed the ball to the centre-back Smalling who was inserted in the center.
The central defender actually ran into the opponent's half during the attack! This is not like the 4-4-2 of zone defense, but more like the Dutch's total defense, but Fulham's Smalling and Han Gaelin are not
Koeman, who was in the Dutch Three Musketeers era, had never heard that the two of them had super long-range shooting skills...
Indeed, Smalling was just one link in the pass. He was responsible for passing Etuhu's return pass to Fulham's right, and handed it over to the right back, Northern Ireland captain Baird, who inserted the assist...
On this ball, Garson did not have such a strong ability to read the game. He was still standing between Aaron Hughes and Duff, without understanding the opponent's intentions. It is no wonder that although he has good physical fitness and speed, his game experience is indeed
Very few.
The other players faced each other, and Berg returned to mark Smalling, but Baird's point became an unmarked space!
(two)
This is also one of Fulham's classic offensive tactics. The left and right wingers, Danny Murphy and Duff, both have the ability to break through alone. The two of them break through on the wing to attract the attention of multiple opponents' players.
The other players move around to create space for the full-back on the other side!
In the last game, right midfielder Danny Murphy and left back Konchesky were both "framed" by the Hamburg team and received yellow cards. This not only amplified Fulham's wing weaknesses, but also equivalent to abolishing Fulham's weakness.
Lem's offensive routine is half as effective!
Obviously, Fulham also seized on Hamburg's shortcomings. The defensive awareness and defensive experience of the young player born in the 1990s was calculated by Lao Huo in this attack. Of course, this was also because of Duff's excellent performance.
The Hamburg team's defense on the right was also very fast. Boateng recovered to guard Duff, who was outflanking Duff in the middle. Trokhovsky withstood Aaron Hughes who came up from behind Duff. Chen Zhuo moved to the middle to guard Guerra.
, Ogo left Guerra's defense to Chen Zhuo and then went to defend Baird.
The movement, positioning and support on the wings and in the center were busy but not chaotic, and the Hamburg team's formation still maintained an orderly formation.
Baird, who was dribbling the ball, was observing. For them, how to instigate and launch every attack was like measuring it with a ruler. They also practiced repeatedly in the training for surnames. Chen Zhuo stared at the Hungarian forward with his body.
Guerra, and pay attention to see if there is anyone missing in other positions.
Gasson stood alone near the center circle. There was no one between him and the Fulham goalkeeper! Are the two opponent's center backs here? Chen Zhuo quickly found another tall center back Han Gai
Lan and Demel are already marking this more threatening high point, and forward Zamora is digging around in the crowd...
How come both Van Nistelrooy and Berg are on the same side as defender Smalling? In the corner kick defense tactics and free kick defense tactics, Van Nistelrooy is marking Smalling, who is of similar height, as a tactical arrangement. Now that Van Nistelrooy and Berg have the same position, then Van Nistelrooy
Who is watching the opposite Simon Davis? At this time, Baird passed the ball...
As Yarolim retreated, he collided with Zamora who was running. The two of them staggered at the same time. Etuhu took the opportunity to get away. Yarolim seemed to have deliberately pulled someone, and the location was right on the penalty area line...
The referee did not blow the whistle, and Baird's pass was safely caught by Simon Davis. Although Yarolim committed a foul, it was beneficial to the attacker at this time!
Ruud ran back to counter-attack Simon Davis, but his running route was interfered with by the unbalanced Etuhu and Zamora. He could only watch helplessly as Simon Davis and Han Gaelan made a two-fight.
One more time!

Zoltangela bumped into Chen Zhuo with his body and raised his hand to ask for the ball. This ball was very difficult for Chen Zhuo to do. Zoltangla and Hangailan were on a parallel line four or five meters apart.
Tackle and block, then Davis easily passes to Guerra, which is a direct dialogue with the goalkeeper. If Guerra is not given up...
How can you think clearly and fully in a flash of lightning! Demel, on the other hand, decisively gave up guarding Han Gailan and quickly rushed towards Simon Davis!
Hangelan is a central defender rather than a forward. The reaction speed of defensive players in the penalty area is always a beat slower than that of forwards and midfielders. Demel's idea is to go up and block Simon Davis' line and force
If Simon Davis cooperates with Han Gelan again, if Simon Davis
Si passed the ball to Hangailan, then Demel was ready to react and directly tackle and destroy, praying that Hangelan would not be able to handle the shooting action as delicately as the forward. Compared to letting Chen Zhuo miss the forward, Demel
I think my risk has a higher chance of success...
Simon Davis stopped midway through his kick to hit the goal. This action looked like he was about to pass it back. Based on his experience, Demel began to prepare to turn back quickly!
Simon Davis tipped his toe... It wasn't a shot or a pass. Davis picked the ball past Demel! He made a mistake in judgment. When Demel turned back to defend Davis, his balance had been lost...
Chen Zhuo, who had been restrained by Guerra, flew over and shoveled him. After passing Demel, Davis already had multiple options. After Demel lost his balance, it was actually Han Gailan, Davis, and Guerra.
Forming a three-on-one situation, Davis can choose to distribute the ball or shoot it himself!
(Four)
This time, things didn't get more complicated. Davis shot before Chen Zhuo could block it!
In any case, Chen Zhuo's flying tackle still affected Davis' rhythm. The shot was a bit reluctant and he did not use his full strength. Although the angle of the ball was very tricky, the force was not terrible. Rost flew sideways and blocked it.
It's apparently possible to live in this ball...
The safest way to handle this ball must be to hit the threatening area with either a double fist or a single punch! Rost didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually wanted to catch the ball directly with both hands. This kind of confidence is not impossible...
Chen Zhuo, who was holding the ground and preparing to get up quickly, suddenly sank on his back. Someone screamed and fell on top of him, as if he was tripped by Chen Zhuo and fell into the penalty area...
It didn't matter anymore. Chen Zhuo, who was lying on the ground, saw as if watching in slow motion that Rost caught the ball steadily with both hands in the air, but fell when he landed and actually... let go...
Then Chen Zhuo saw the Hungarian forward Zoltangla he was marking easily kicking the ball into the goal. Without any celebration, he rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, and ran towards the midfield.

The goal occurred in the 98th second of the second half. Less than two minutes into the game, Fulham attacked with all the players except the goalkeeper. This time, it was a good display of Duff's personal ability. It was the two central defenders who moved and moved.
The achievement of the cooperative tactical intention is...
Chen Zhuo ran to the midfield, put his arm around Garson's shoulders, and told him how to move when defending. Garson kept nodding. The reason this time, in Chen Zhuo's opinion, was not the main reason for Garson's return to defense.
.Ogo and Boateng, the two "reamers" were not effective, and Duff broke through.
Aten and Baird did not choose to tangle with Ogo. These were their tactical intentions. Moreover, in Fulham's attack, all 10 players except the goalkeeper passed the half-time. As long as the Hamburg team
Cutting off the ball to form an effective counterattack is fatal to Fulham!
But Hodgson chose to take the risk, and the risk succeeded...
Hodgson didn't have any excitement or celebration. The score was 1:1, and the final result was that Fulham was eliminated. There was nothing to celebrate! He waved to the players to quickly return to their positions.
